IMO.. what makes a QB is. Poise, leadership, some balance of pocket presence and or athleticism, love of the game, good footwork and throwing mechanics and some balance of a strong enough arm and accuracy. If your arm is lacking a little.. you better be darn accurate. If you have a big arm.. You still need some accuracy. And then there is the IT factor.. Competitiveness. Improvisation/Creativity. Durability/toughness.

Very rarely see a guy who has all those things. If you find one. Go get him.

Here they list four guys (TE, LB, QB, and RB) who might be available at #42. I would be happy with a TE (either Gesicki or Goedert, who they list here), Guice (the RB, no way he makes it to us at #42), or Vander Esch (the LB, who probably won't fall to 42 either).

Of course, it depends on who we take at #11. If we can get a LB there (Smith or Edmunds, or maybe even the S/LB, James), then I had been hoping for a top TE at #42. But, after reading this article, I would not be opposed to taking Mason, the QB from this article.

I think arm strength is not nearly as important as pocket poise, accuracy, and intelligence. Chad Pennington proved that, and Randolph sounds similar. I am too impatient to add other starters right now to take a QB if one falls to us at 11, but I could understand the thinking if we did so.

Thanks for sharing this article. It goes against a lot of what I've read about Rudolph (the system getting his guys open as opposed to him throwing them open by hitting spots), but if this is accurate he is a great 1st Round option or early 2nd Round guy.

One thing we don't talk about is Miami trading back as opposed to trading up. If Miami likes Rudolph or Lamar Jackson, and a top CB prospect falls to them at 11, you could field trade offers into the mid 20s for a team that wants Denzel Ward or Josh Jackson. That will cost said team a 2nd Rounder. Miami could take Rudolph at 20 something and address other needs in Round 2.

I'd rather them sit and wait until Day 2, but its worth considering the possibility.

It seems like the only thing we know about the first round of this draft is that Buffalo wants to move up. Other than that, we're all just guessing. It adds the level of intrigue that the NFL absolutely loves, because it means tv ratings, and ultimately that means $$$ for the shield. It also makes it more fun for us to sit around and speculate on fan sites such as this. Thanks to all of you who are providing intel on the matter; it makes it more fun. (I'm talking to you Dan!)
